    Just kinda popped up, pretty, but I don't think it's something I planted. Worth keeping??

    Nicotiana. Some varieties seed themselves quite readily around the garden.

    Is it considered a weed around here? I've seen yellow ones in my back garden... they take forever to open up & flower.

    Apparently the tree tobacco Nicotiana glauca is invasive in warmer zones, but I don't know of other species being a big problem in this area. We'll see what others say. I have grown various kinds in the garden, they have seeded themselves, but none ever took over the garden.
